Abstract
Right atrial appendage aneurysms (RAAAs) are extremely rare in cardiac
anomaly. According to the literature, no more than 25 cases have been
reported so far, among which only 3 cases were children. Here, we
reported an infant with a giant RAAA and severe symptoms. The RAAA was
diagnosed by echocardiography and surgically resected under
cardiopulmonary bypass. The role of transesophageal echocardiography was
very important during the aneurysm resection surgery, which helped
surgeons to plan surgical procedures during the surgery and evaluate the
surgical effect postoperatively.
